One of the steps prior to running the program was to create a restore point and back up the registry. It made a restore point and backed up the registry. I see the back up listed. Still no restore points even though one was created. I actually went through all the steps as suggested.

Found the log file. Saw the following entriesThe Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) service could not be started. The service did not report an error.

The first time I ran it I forgot to disable my virus (Avast free) so I disabled that and ran it again. Might be why there are double entries. Are the settings for any of these wrong? Should any be automatic? Thanks for your help!

They should be on manual. Go to the services in Windows and see if you can start them and if they stay running. If they dont then something else is wrong, either something not set right or something on the system killing them.

I used the repair to system restore and have no clue if it worked or not I've been getting an external drive that came up missing from the system In order I had to turn protection off for drive. To get it out of system and from showing up as missing in system restore. I have set a restore point but have not done a system restore the Cdrive protection is on, good enough. The external is of, Still need to scrub it, wipe the free space and when I do a system restore will notify. Request Shane can a sliding bar graph be installed to know it is running, besides the red light for PC and ready boost light flashing that it is working. Hope your fix to System Restore worked Take care Shane from John

Ah I see, right now the repair is just in the CMD window you see open. So if you see the cmd window open you know it is working. The program just writes everything that needs to be done to a bat file and runs it. But adding a item to the program to show it isnt locked up isnt hard for me to do
